Medical Device Icons: Who Would You Nominate?

US Medical devices news site MedCity News has posted an article in which it ponders who would be sufficiently iconic figures in the world of medical devices to be the industry’s nominations to be carved on its very own Mount Rushmore.

The article can be found here and for anyone thinking Medtech is a global affair, try not to look too surprised that all four nominees are Americans. Honestly, we can’t argue with these (much), but we’re nonetheless keen to gain nominations from outside United States. Sir John Charnley, inventor of the modern day hip prosthesis in the early ’60s gets our vote, (although Marius Nygaard Smith-Peterson might lay claim to the first iteration in 1923).
